Chapters: Matthew 5–7
In Matthew 5–7, Jesus delivers the Sermon on the Mount, presenting the character, values, and righteousness of the Kingdom of Heaven. He begins with the Beatitudes, describing the blessed life of humility, mercy, and faithfulness. Jesus deepens the meaning of the Law, addressing anger, lust, honesty, love for enemies, prayer, generosity, and trust in God. These chapters reveal that true righteousness flows from the heart, not merely outward rule-keeping. The sermon concludes with a call to wise obedience—building one's life on His words like a house built on rock.
